Do alarms like that normally happen here? It was quite a wake-up call! I'm glad I wasn't drafted, but...

[ she's pretty concerned about people who are. Platina glances worriedly off to the side, then turns back to the feed. ]

I hope they'll be all right. In the meantime... does anyone know how to make a cake?

[ pointing the camera at her disastrous-looking attempt. yyyyes, wrong canon, but the girl is not a cook! it's her birthday and she wants cake damnit o9" also action is cool for anyone living in pokehouse too. ]

Maybe you should try something with chocolate next time? Chocolate is easy to work with.

I'm Tsuzuki. Nice to meet you, Platina!

[leadinglady]

Is it really? Are you good at baking, Mr. Tsuzuki?

[idealism]

Yes. It's one of my hobbies. I really like mixing flavors to make it taste better.


[Run, Platina, run. :|]

[leadinglady]

That's something you could do? I never knew that!

[ CHEERFULLY OBLIVIOUS 8D/ ]

[idealism]

Yeah! That way you might end up with a fantastic cake. Like--like--cheesecake with raspberries!

[Oh boy, they'll end up making weapons of mass destruction. :|a]

[leadinglady]

Fascinating! It sounds delicious. I'd love to try to make it!

[ the kitchen will be our war zone!! ]

[idealism]

And garlic-and-chocolate-buns. Those are tricky.

[We'll take no prisoners! ...Okay, just a few. They'll need a few test-tasters, after all.]

[leadinglady]

Tricky? Maybe you'd like a sous-chef to help, then?

[ SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN. goodbye taste buds i knew you well~ ]

[idealism]

Yes, please.

[Here's to hoping they won't burn the place down in the process.]

I live in 25, if you ever feel like making something.

[leadinglady]

Could I possibly visit today? I'm... in the mood for cake, I suppose.

[idealism]

Of course! I just have to check the cupboards to see if I have everything we need, but I think that we're all set.

...You know, maybe we should make a big one. That way we can share it with people.

[leadinglady]

A big one would be nice! I don't think anyone would object to cake, after all.

[idealism]

I know of one guy who would say no to cake, but that's because he's strange.

[But! That's beside the point.]

I'll leave the door open, okay? Feel free to go straight in.

[leadinglady]

That does sound a little odd. But, thank you! I'll be there soon after I dispose of this!

[ glancing sheepishly at the cake, before turning off the feed o/ ]

[idealism]

See you then!

[That sounds like a plan. Tsuzuki takes the time to gather the chocolate, berries and all the other ingredients they'll need for a proper cake. If she had left her journal open as she went, she'd be able to hear him hum a tune as he does. She may still catch the end of it when she arrives at 25.]

action

[leadinglady]

[ she musters up the guts to finally dump the cake in the rain trash. then double-bag it. THEN TRIPLE-BAG IT just in case Gold's right and it's actually alive or something.

buuut after all that's done, Platina will be over in about half an hour, knocking on the door o/ ]

action

[idealism]

[There she will be met with a smiling man in a flowery apron, holding out an even more flowery apron for her.]

There you are! I was just about to start.

[leadinglady]

[ oh whoa a genuine cooking apron!! she might be sparkling a little :V ]

Sorry, it took me a little longer than I thought, Mr. Tsuzuki. But I'm here now!

[idealism]

[That's so cute. :'D Finally someone who understands how important it is to enjoy making food. Once the apron is delivered, he makes a sweeping gesture towards the kitchen. Come in, come in!]

That's okay, it gave me time to clean up.

[leadinglady]

[ tying it up~ so she might be used to lab coats but whoa this is the genuine article, I FEEL SO MUCH MORE PROFESSIONAL ALREADY. she follows him in, looking around in curious awe. ]

I hope I'm not an inconvenience!

[idealism]

[More people ought to appreciate the subtle science of baking. :D His wings flutter excitedly as he guides her straight into the kitchen, where he's been trying to line up the things they'd need. If only he had known it was her birthday, he would have piled up even MORE.]

Of course not! I'm just glad you're in the mood for baking.

[leadinglady]

[ she glances around, noticeably impressed when she enters the kitchen. well this looks a lot better than her try! so many chocolates and sweets~ ]

It's new to me, I admit. But in that case, I'm ready to learn anything!

[idealism]

In that case I can teach you the things my sister taught me.

[He flips open a cook book to find a suitable cake they can try to make. There. A chocolate spice cake.]

What do you think of this one?

[leadinglady]

[ well the picture of it is pretty tempting! :9 she eyes the recipe, as if trying to assess how difficult it would be. ]

It looks delicious. I'd like to try it!

[idealism]

What kind of special ingredients should we add to it? We've got to make it into your cake, after all.

[Helpfully, he grabs bacon, nuts and caramel. There's so much to choose from~]
